I was given my 48 x 15 x 18 tank a few months ago and i literally threw everything in. It hasn't been too bad but it's far too disorganised for me so hopefully this week, i will get my plants from plants alive and completely change the lot.
The huge Amazon sword was tiny when i put it in a few months ago but has reached a size of Dorathy 2 in little shop of horrors and has to come out.
The tank is very over stocked at the mo....present fish are
20 rummynoses
14 checker barbs
10 harliquins
6 angels
6 Bolivian rams
6 honey gouramies
plec
hoplo cat
lots of baby siamese fighters from a spawning.
However, the fighters, checker barbs and honey gouramies will go and be replaced with more rummys and maybe some cardinals
Tank specs are....
3 x 38w triplus tubes (on for 11 hrs a day)
2 x tetra CO2 (push cannister type)
interpet 4 internal filter (to be replaced by a larger external)
1" john innes no 3 soil with 2" gravel on top.
temp 78 f
water is around ph 7.5
One thing that might happen is i may upgrade my tank from a 48 x 15 x 18 to a 48 x 21 x 24 (rio 300) which will give me better scape for planting.
here's some pics taken just now....more to follow as the plants go in and grow
